Historical Development of Big Data

 


The technology is getting updates very quickly, and Big Data is a big journey trough several decades so we can mention some key moments in the history of big data evolution starting with the first event in 1944 where Fremont Rider speculated that by 2040, the yale library would house approximately 200,000,000 volumes, spanning over 6,000 miles of shelves. So this prediction was known as the “Information Explosion”, highlighted the growing volume of data. After this event the concept of storing and analysing vast amount of data began to take shape, however, it was not until several decades later that the term “BIG DATA” gained popularity and significance.

After 1960s main frame computer emerged offering solutions for data storage process and then the 1980s saw a significant leap forward with the advent of relational database which provided a better solution for managing data.

The 1990s marked a revolutionary shift with the rise of internet and the proliferation of digital technologies which offer global access to the people around the world and contribute to the early stages of BIG DATA as we know it today.

And last but not least the 21st century brought a data revolution with the explosion of social media, mobiles, internet services creating an unprecedented data deluge. Fast forward to the present , where big data technologies and techniques continue to evolve, transforming industries across domains. From early computing to the digital age, big data remains a driving force in shaping our world.

Limitations of Predictive Analytics

  It is a powerful tool but it comes with many limitations that affects its accuracy and reliability. Here we have come examples: 1.     Data Quality : Predictive models rely on large, accurate, and relevant datasets. If the data is incomplete, inaccurate, or biased, the predictions will be flawed. 2.     Human Behaviour : Predictive analytics cannot always accurately predict human behaviour , which can be influenced by numerous unpredictable factors. 3.     Data Relevance : The data sets need to be consistently updated to remain relevant, as outdated information can lead to incorrect predictions. 4.     Clear Goals : Without clear goals, predictive analytics can produce results that are not actionable or relevant to the business’s needs. 5.     Complexity of Models : The more complex a model, the harder it is to interpret the results, which can lead to misunderstandings or misapplications of...

Contemporary applications of big data in businesses

  Big data became a game changer across various industries, enabling organizations to get valuable insights and drive decisions making. Factors that we can mention Marketing, Transportation, Government and public Administration, business operation, health care, cybersecurity, etc. Let’s mention some of the applications examples. For example, In marketing they use the forecast customer behaviour to analyse customer information, predict market trends, and understand buyers habits so this helps prioritize products and service effectively. In transportation we have to mention assist in GPS navigation, traffic and weather alerts so big data helps to optimize routes, predict traffic congestion and provide real time weather information or traffic. Big data is also used in cybersecurity where helps identify security risks, detect anomalies, and protect against cyber threats. As we mention before in our previous posts, big data is not just about managing vast volumes of data but its...
